Default Thymectomy Procedure Question
Can anybody tell me what Thymectomy Procedure you had done and why you chose that? I.e. Transsternal, Transcervical or Videoscopic. I just asked my Neurologist, waiting for reply but I've read so many different articles they all seem to have good outcomes. The Transsternal seems to be more thorough when removing Thymus and fatty tissue possibly affected but has longer recovery period. The articles I read were posted by Universities but I would like to hear from actual patients.
Thank you for your time
